That's It!!!! If Satin had a dog it would have horns, and a pointy tail, and blood dripping from it's fangs with glowing blood red eyes. It has to be a pit bull. Right???? I would know one of them every where. I think it was in the movie CUJO. Just think if the woman didn't shove her cordless phone in its mouth.

I swear, it's enough for me to want to cancel my subsription to the newspaper.

An Akron police officer finally shot and killed it, but only after it attacked a woman, her daughter and a teenager walking down the street. No one seems to know who owned the animal, but a city spokesman said it would be tested for rabies.

Lakeysha Jones, 27, said she heard her children yelling shortly after they left the house about 7 a.m. on their way to school. She looked out the window of her home on 11th Street and saw a pit bull attacking her 10-year-old daughter, Lazaria, in the driveway.

The girl's parents ran from the house in their pajamas and her father punched the dog, but it wouldn't stop biting the girl, her mother said.

"The dog had her," the mother said. "It was locked on her leg. I was yelling, 'Get this dog off my baby.' "

Next-door neighbor Wayne Santos, 50, hit the dog with a broomstick as he joined in the chaotic effort to free the girl from the dog's grip.

"I caught that dog good on the head twice, but it didn't do any good," Santos said. "That dog just went crazy. It wouldn't get off that girl for nothing."

The girl eventually got away from the dog. She needed five stitches to close a wound on her leg.

The dog eventually attacked the girl's mother as the family struggled to get back into their home, biting the woman on her right leg. Police were called, and moments later the mother went out the front door to watch for the arrival of a rescue squad when the dog attacked her again.

She said she jammed a portable telephone in the dog's mouth to prevent it from biting her and fled back into the house. The dog then began biting a metal mail slot on her door, she said.

Police and rescue squads couldn't leave their vehicles because the snarling dog was snapping at them from outside.

The dog eventually spotted Eric Santa, 16, as he walked to school, and ran after him. The dog, a tan female that was wearing a collar but no tags, bit Santa on the leg as he kicked at the animal, Santa said.

Santa said a police officer arrived and shot the dog once in its hindquarters, knocking the animal to the ground.

Santa said the dog got back up and started coming at him again, and the officer fired several more rounds into the dog, killing it.

Santa said he needed four stitches to close a wound on his leg. All three people who were attacked were treated at the hospital Friday and released.

"I don't have a dog and I don't ever want one now," Jones said in an interview by telephone - the same receiver that she had hours earlier jammed into the angry jaws of the dog.
